How have I never been a liberal? I don't even get this post? I'm a liberal because I'm pro social assistance programs. I've worked with WIC. I've volunteered with non-profit CSAs, food banks, food pantries, etc. I petitioned to limit money lobbyists can spend on politicians. I voted for Nader in '04, and Obama in '08 and '12. I've been pro-union, and utilized my union rights at multiple jobs. I've always been helpful to those working lower-income jobs. I've always tipped 20%+ for any service or job that relies heavily on tips for its workers.
I'm also a liberal because I believe in rehabilitation and education, and I believe in empathy for others. Sorry?
